Check out this site for Marans info.

After looking at that site, I want wheaten marans - but not feather legged. They are the prettiest, in my opinion.

Wow Stimpy, is my timing good or what?! I'm doing great. I actually got out of the house today and went to the grocery store. I called 411 from my cell phone while in the store to get the store's number so I could ask them where their frozen Biljac was. I couldn't find a store worker to ask, so I just called them from the dog food aisle. The wonders of technology! (Yet my Panhandle parents have yet to purchase a telephone answering machine...)

Okay, now going back to read the Okie posts I've missed. Heaven forbid that I not know what's happening with everyone!

Hey big guy : I have been out in the chicken house all day since about 7:00 am, making a few upgrades and finished putting the tin on the roof over plywood. and cleaned and sanitized them all, Should be cozy and dry come winter.

I have some (9) 12'x12'x8' tall steel metal frames ( the kind from TSC/Attwoods for instant horse stalls ) That I am playing with an idea to make some show pens out of. I used to have all my horses in there a few years ago. They are really pretty nice with cool double swinging steel doors and being 8' tall my plan is to line the sides with roomy reach-in pens, all around. I have all the stuff allready to go just need to work out the details in my tiny head.

Glad you have joined us. Hennie is your closest BYC neighbor that I know of.

Snyder is only 30 min to the west from me, I like to fish Tom Steed lake when time permits.

The person who answered the phone acted like it was no big deal - she said "turn around and go back to the frozen people food section - we had to move it there." I thought it was funny, but maybe people do it all the time!

P&B - LOL I'm one up on ya !!!!! This plant is 1/2 mile from
the house and Bill was up there with his uncle earlier this week.
I wasn't sure I believed the story, so sent Bill back up there
today and had him buy 2 8 1/2 lb. roasters - $5 each..................
Stuck one of them in the oven this afternoon.....Pa-Pa just
sat his plate down.........and the verdict is..........FANTASTIC !!!!!


Now for the rest of the story - Oh, we are well acquainted with
Mr. Jones. At the get-go, several of us out here at Gideon
fought him like wildcats. He works with the court system and
sets these deals up...... the drug/alcohol/etc. offenders can
go to jail/prison....or they can sign up for "his" half-way house
situation and work for meals/lodging/cigarettes for the duration.
Our initial objection to his set-up was that it was 1/4 mile north
of us right here on the highway and we were not notified ahead
of time what he was doing and what type of people would be
housed right here in our neighborhood. Since we are "out of
town" there were no zoning laws and the District Attorney
told us that we were wasting our time.

We have been greatly relieved that none of us out here have
had any problems with these folks and can only pray that they
are doing better for themselves once finished with this
program. It was a scarry situation at the get-go, but has
worked so far. I totally realize that this kind of a program
could possibly make the difference for a person in that
situation, but we weren't sure at the get-go....being parents
of young children right down the road.

This new highway project, that is threatening to run their
new yellow line right through our livingroom, IS taking their
place on the far side of the hill. When Mr. Jones gets his
settlement for his place up there, he will be building a new
housing facility 1/2 mile west of us, near the processing
facility.

But, Bill did go all the way through their plant and visited with
the USDA inspector that is on duty over there. It looks totally
"up to par". Mr. Jones has asked Bill to help him with his
"gigantic" incubators once he gets them set. So.............
"All" seems well out here at the metropolis of "Gideon".....LOL

And, just watched the weather....They have upped our rain
forecast to just under 6" of rain. Hey, 14-mile Creek is 60 feet
from our back yard gate and the horses are on the other side. I've
seen 14" diameter trees coming down that thing twice since
I got here in '98. Crud,.... is gonna wash all the big bass clear to
Lake Ft. Gibson...................

Have a good one !
